Patricia takes the baton over on more and more of the teaching at Kpong Airfield. This morning she
took five young people flying, and this afternoon she is going over the theory behind flight.
Using flight and aviation as a motivational medium for Science Technology Mathematics and Engineering is the basis of how we trian our youngsters at Kpong.
The wonderful thing is that the airfield has such a range of activities and skills that help us to create rounded youngsters.
Some people get confused by thinking that our purpose is to train young people as pilots. That is only a bonus. The primary aim is to give them a better outlook on life, personal confidence, intellectual growth, environmental responsibility, better understanding of health matters, a maintenance mentality and above all the steps towards independence.
If a youngster demonstrates the personal responsibility and potential we are prepared to support them to towards the Ghana National Licence.
For many achieving that licence may be just a challenge and for some it may not be suitable. All the same just a few hours of flight experience can change a persons outlook on so many things and aspects of their lives.
We are always going to be limited in what we can achieve, and the youngsters are limited by their own efforts, attitudes and preparedness to make the necessary efforts and sacrifices to reach their goal.
It is a privilege to work with many of these youngsters and a greater pleasure to see that our investment in training Patricia has resulted in such an able and inspirational leader for current and future programmes.
She literally walked out of the bush, from her mud and thatch home, just six years ago, and asked for a job at Kpong Airfield. Starting by clearing trees, digging out roots and stones in order to hand carve runways for the light aircraft at Kpong, she went on to build several aircraft and become the first woman in the world to receive iRMT certification for working on Rotax Aircraft Engines. That is not the only first she has up her overalls sleeve! She was the first woman to be issued the Ghana National Pilots licence and is also the first female flying instructor at Kpong Airfield. She has not only built aircraft - she has also flown one around Ghana!
The Women of Worth inspirational series from Wolfpack takes on Ama K Abebrese, the award 
This week the Wolfpack Woman of Worth campaign to inspire young women in Ghana and West
This week saw the beginning of a new and exciting motivational and inspirational campaign aimed at the young women of Ghana. The dynamic young men behind Wolfpack Entertainment, a relatively young Ghanaian creative company that focus on unearthing and exhibiting talent in the youth, found that young women lacked positive role models, and set about establishing the ‘Women of Worth’ campaign. 
Lydia (yellow shirt) is in charge of teaching radio work to the academy students. Good communication is essential for our outreach. Although English is the official language of Ghana it is rarely the mother tongue in the home.
Lydia is smiling. Happy with her new hand position. All fingers and thumb are working. Wrist is fused (as is elbow but that is from last surgery). Thank you all for your amazing support and encouragement to help us get this far.
Yesterday Lydia was admitted to the hand surgery unit in Bad Neustadt.
We would like to thank all who have made this surgery a possibility - many we know personally others we can only feel your caring and hope to meet you one day.
Patricia and I were working on the drop aircraft and asked Lydia to check it out.
Waste management is a growing issue at Kpong Airfield, especially with the growing number of young ladies based at the site. Whether it is catering related or simply from the normal cycle of healthy young people, appropriate waste management is essential.
Feeding the hungry mouths at the airfield is a task given to Mavis. She embraces it with joy.
The cornerstone of sustainable development is the people and human relationships that make it work
